Course Introduction
Service Capacity Management (SCM) is one of the three sub-processes of ITIL® Capacity Management and focuses on ensuring that all current and future service performance requirements are met in a cost-effective and timely manner. This course delves into performance monitoring, service reporting, demand management, and predictive analysis to maintain service quality. Participants will explore how to track capacity needs for live services and proactively support IT service continuity.
Course Objectives
Participants will be able to:
-
Understand the core principles of Service Capacity Management under ITIL®
-
Monitor, analyze, and report on service performance and availability
-
Proactively manage service resources based on workload patterns and thresholds
-
Use data to anticipate and mitigate performance bottlenecks
-
Integrate SCM with service level management and incident response
Key Benefits of Attending
Without real-time service performance analysis and proactive capacity tuning, IT services can fail to meet SLAs, resulting in customer dissatisfaction and financial losses. SCM enables IT teams to stay ahead of demand, optimize services, and reduce unplanned downtime.
